Fisher Carolyn musings

Chris has found

Leslie Jenkins  William Fisher Tolley b 3 Nov 1823 South Molton married local Sarah Warren then to Cornwall then NYC and Salt Lake City in 1857.

also Tessa Bean has Susanna Fisher:

  • Tolley-Fisher marriage: Susanna Fisher baptised 25 Sept 1791 parents William and Mellier.  Roger Tolley (a sojouner ie visitor to parish of South Moulton) married 75% sure this Susanna Fisher on 2 June 1822

I am not happy with research in Annastasia Tolley’s tree  but has link to 1851 census William 1824- and Sarah in Swansea with son Samuel 1849- all born South Molton so think this is William and Sarah who went to Utah.  Agrees with online Mormon biography.

  • A William Fisher was bpt 30 March 1741 Tiverton son of John
  • A William Fisher married Rachel Bryant 1780 Tiverton
